Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) as Gene Carrier System for Rat Model of Human GliomaThe purposes of this study were to investigate whether intravenously administered, genetically transformed cord blood derived EPCs can carry human sodium iodide symporter to the sites of tumors in rat orthotopic model of human glioma and express transgene products, and whether accumulation of these administered EPCs can be tracked by different in vivo imaging modalities.
